@stteb done decat and bars, but had to get help and use of a lift! worked out well as had hunter 4 wheel done once back together…. Sub frame dropped.. as recommended by brembo get new bolts, nuts and turbo gasket for turbo connection….?

if you already been bitten by the modbug, do you have rear motormount, wastegate, turboblanket, quickshifter, gear cable bushings, gear mount bushings in place? otherwise it will be an easy job to do if you already dropped subframe.

Alignment mark the subframe or when you rebuild it the car will go either left or right.

Would suggest a full alignment after rebuilding.

You will also require a couple of downpipe to turbo studs and nuts as the original generally get chewed up.

The Front ARB is a good mod but the Rear ARB is more beneficial to the cars handling

Got these to fit also (roll bars)…regarding front…

1) does the sub frame have to be dropped completely or loosened just enough to get old bar out?

2) can it be done on axle stands as that’s all I have?

3) am I right in thinking that anything involving bushes/arms, need to be tightened up with the car in its natural resting position (with weight on)?
